en-USRe: Wireless Access Program (WAP)This issue lost a little bit of traction the last few months but is back on the front burner for ZSE. I actually did not receive a formal rejection, it was a phone call from the IT department in charge of WAP. Has there been any progress from the national FAAMA level on this?http://www.faama.org/faama-forum/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=6

We agree with you that FAAMA and others should be able to install wireless at FAA facilities as long as it complies with FAA guidelines. As you know NATCA received a waiver, we have been checking internally with FAA IT to determine how best to apply and successfully receive a waiver. We will get back to you as soon as we receive additional information.
In the interim, we are here to support you. We have upgraded the website and would welcome your feedback on items and postings that you wish to see to help manage your chapter and recruitment. Would you please send copy of the formal rejection of your request.

That does sound like an excellent idea. I was suggested that by another member I met with last week. I will make sure that it is on the agenda for our next Board of Directors telcon.

I followed the order, I notified IT, I went through all the necessary steps and was turned down because the FAA says that NATCA is the only entity/group that the FAA has authorized to have wireless.
I was wondering if FAAMA is in negotiations with the FAA so that we can utilize this program? It seems a bit unfair that NATCA is the only approved group. I feel that access to this program would benefit FAAMA in many ways, such as recruitment in each chapter.

I doubt that your old position will be included. Enjoy retirement!

I am an ATC-7 VFR tower supervisor who was planning on retiring during the first few days of 2013, but will stay on longer if I am eligible. The problem is.....how do I know if I am eligible? I am going to have to throw away or give away a large amount of annual leave (beyond the max carryover of 240 hours) in order to continue past January 12. That is a real bummer. I have gone most of the year without taking any leave. I am able to stay on for two more years before facing mandatory retirement at 56.
Is there any way of finding out the decision soon?
Thanks!
